Created attachment 73475 [details] install profile
Created attachment 73476 [details] log for setup the setup log.
Please retry the install with verbose (bottom of Misc. tab on Client Config screen) and then attach the installer.log.
Created attachment 73508 [details] Installation log with Verbose debug feature on as requested. I am attaching the log with verbose as requested. To make sure nothing was diffrent I downloaded and used the latestest installer package and downloaded this install profile from my original bug report. please let me know if you keed anything else for this bug. To download latest installer I used this code from the fourms # MOST IMPORTANTLY: update the installer to the latest CVS version before proceeding! A number of bugs have been fixed in the CVS version. For convenience sake, here's the steps to update the GLI on the X CD (taken from the official GLI FAQ): Code: (open a terminal and then...) # xhost + # sudo su - # /opt/installer/misc/getgli # export DISPLAY=:0.0 # cd installer/src/fe/gtk # ./gtkfe.py
Whoops...that exception showing up in the log is a bug in my debugging code for that function. It's fixed in cvs. Please try a verbose install again, so we can see the *real* error :) Also, there are new scripts to make running a cvs version easier. Just open up a terminal and run '/opt/installer/misc/updategtkfe'. This procedure has been updated in the FAQ as well. BTW, do you have a URL for that forums topic?
I will try to update the cvs with the newer script and get back to you. The fourm topic is http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-368662-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start- 25.html It is on page 2 the sixth post down.
Created attachment 73513 [details] setup log Ran setup again with verbose. Hope this helps.
Created attachment 73514 [details] output page from setup This is the output page from the installer log that opens after install starts. Not sure if you need this or not.
Okay, that's better. Which LiveCD are you using? You selected AMD64 as the hardware, but that doesn't tell me if you're using the x86 or amd64 livecd.
I am using the amd 64 version of the live cd. My processor is an AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 1 gig pc 3200 ram, ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128 meg agp, Asus K8V deluxe motherboard.
The ISO I burned the cd from which is on my other computer is named livecd-amd64-installer-2005.1-r1
I saw that there was an updated version of the installer for installer-20051124.tar.bz2. The same error showed up in the same place.
Please quit messing with the bug. I'm obviously already getting mails for it, so I don't need to be on the CC. It looks like the amd64 livecd is incomplete. I'm waiting to talk to the guy who built it, so we can get that fixed.
This should be fixed with the 2006.0 experimental amd64 livecd.
Moving to Release Media/Installer.
